Gladsheim

Even when he sits at the feasts of the gods in his golden palace, Gladsheim, or with the heroes in Valhalla, he eats nothing.

It was so heavy that even the mighty Thor could hardly lift it, or drag it as far as Odin’s palace of Gladsheim.

Odin sent for all these little people to come to him, and when they had reached Asgard, and were admitted to his palace of Gladsheim, they entered the great judgment hall, where they found all the �sir sitting, with Father Odin at their head.

The Allfather had need of great wisdom in ruling the worlds; after thinking a long time on the matters which needed his care, he suddenly started up, and went forth with long strides from his palace of Gladsheim into the night.

It was here that Odin and the rest of the gods, the twelve �sir, dwelt—the gods in the mansion called Gladsheim, the goddesses dwelling in Vingulf.
